Want to Be More Confident?

Don’t wait to feel confident in pursuing a goal to do something new and challenging, build confidence by doing – take action. The more we act, our confidence grows. Instead of thinking of all the ways things could go wrong (fear), your focus goes on the action steps your taking – you feel in control, and you feel more certain, more confident. This is not saying that everything will work out as planned, that’s not the intention here. It’s to get started and build evidence that you are stronger than you think.
 
Do the following to feel more confident:

1. Gain knowledge:  If there is something you want to be better at or achieve, find resources – books, training courses, YouTube videos, Ted talks – so much is available online – put in the time, educate yourself and learn.
2. Dress for Success:  Your appearance is important. Not only will you appear more confident to others, but you feel good when your hair and/or makeup is done. Looking good and feeling good helps your confidence.
3. Be Curious: Replace comparison with curiosity: Don’t compare yourself to anyone else. We all are unique and have different talents and experience. Instead, look at role models in your life or on social media and notice what it is about them that inspire you to do and be better so you can grow your confidence.
4. Visualize: Spend time visualizing the outcomes you wish to have. If you have a meeting at work, social event where you need to be confident – do a mental rehearsal in your mind days and hours before it. Use all your senses. Imagine it on a large movie screen, see yourself looking confident, speaking clearly and relaxed looking. Feel how good it feels to be confident presenting, speaking in front of others. Many performers, sports athletes do this very exercise because they know that when they put in the mental practice, their confidence increases, and they perform at their best!

 
The more you take action on challenging experiences, store memories of success, you will naturally become more confident. Don’t wait to feel confident, develop your confidence!
 
“Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want
to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy”
– Dale Carnegie
